Moldavite
Stone History
Moldavite is a unique and rare mineral formed from a meteorite impact. It is a natural glass created about 15 million years ago when a meteorite struck the region of modern-day Třebíč, Czech Republic. The impact melted terrestrial material, which was then ejected and cooled, forming what we now know as moldavite.
In folklore, moldavite was regarded as the “Stone of the Gods” and used as a talisman for protection and good luck. Some historical sources link it to ancient Slavic rituals and spiritual practices.
